Babywearing

Your new Group Owners are working hard behind the scenes to bring you fun, up to date and revamped documents, stickies and threads. Please bear with us as we complete the new constructions.

In the mean time check out the FAQ featured thread for the Babywearing 101 Document the Previous GO's worked so hard on!

SAFETY DISCLAIMER

We cannot stress enough that wearing your baby/child and choosing a carrier is ultimately the responsibility of each person. While all the links included on this board by the GO's are helpful information, there is plenty more out there. Please be sure to fully research a carrier before purchasing.

Gentle Rules

We are experienced babywearers that can't wait to help you get comfy wearing your baby! But in order to help you, we ask that you abide by a few rules on our board.

1. We are here to provide love and support to each other. Be kind and gentle. It’s okay to disagree, but do so respectfully.

2. No Spam! Do not promote a business that you are affiliated with on our board. Do not ask your friends to post links to your business. Links to photocontests, video contests, etc., are also prohibited. This also includes requests for donations. All spam posts will be deleted. Spamming the board or our members with your BWing business will get you reported to the BBC Mods (as per their request). This isn't just our rule; it's Babycenter's rule!

3. Please post only your own photos. No photo or link may be posted with the intention of pointing out another person's bad babywearing. BBC's position on posting photos is this:

Photos and images, even those taken or created by laypersons, are also subject to copyright protection. Furthermore, the people in photographs may have additional rights that prohibit display of the photos without permission. Therefore, no photos or images should be posted unless you have all necessary permission to do so.

If you are lifting a personal photo from another site with a person in it, please get permission to post it here. If a photo is YOURS and you are bothered that it was posted here, please report it to the GOs with the link where it was lifted as well as reporting it straight to the community. Thanks!

4. Please do jump in and help other caregivers with their questions, but only if you are relatively experienced with that particular carrier or have been on the board a while. We don't want anyone getting misleading information so if you aren't sure, just bump the thread and more experienced moms will chime in.

5. Please read the information on the featured post. There is a ton of information there designed to help caregivers learn more about babywearing. If you have a question, try there first or use the search feature to the right of the messages. We will never blast you for asking a question that has been covered there or has already been asked, but this may save you a little time waiting for an answer.

Read the basic babywearing info, and then jump in and get started! Happy Babywearing!
